I dont think there is a "better" in a grand sense, but probably for individuals. You may work where you work and see a niche or idea that you can grow into you

I dont think there is a "better" in a grand sense, but probably for individuals. You may work where you work and see a niche or idea that you can grow into your own thing and your experience can translate well. I do notice you talk about perhaps creating your own startup in the future. One thing I found with that is some people get used to steady job etc and then when they try to start something up they arent prepared for the lifestyle change and unknown feeling, it can be a stark contrast to "security". I think it is wise to prepare for such a thing.
